tailslide5_0 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'm liking this driver already. I've seen slight improvements in a few different games so far, and just by installing the driver it raised my 3dmark 11 score from 6094 to 6189 on an MSI GT60 w/ 680m.

James D Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 J95, why wouldn't you move all Temp directory to Ramdrive then? The only once when I had trouble after doing that was when unzipping many GB file because Temp folder wasn't that big to hold that much of data but I have never done anything like that since.Speaking about driver... same driver all before. Some games get gains, some loose. That is if I comare with 335.23. R331 drivers are really less performance. But I have good CPU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J95 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yeah, I've both temp folders (user, not %SystemRoot%\TEMP) set to a ramdisk, that's a different partition with the pro apps + 3 ram drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conker Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Is anyone else using Nvidia Surround and is experiencing driver crashes from time to time with 337.50 Beta and 337.61 Beta?Especially with simultaneous use of Google Chrome and VLC/Windows media player and other applications like JDownloader. It always starts with a green or grey middle screen and ends up in a graphics driver recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
